I believe this position will provide me with the opportunity to grow and develop my skills as a stage manager, while also contributing to the success of Cirque du Soleil.
My passion for stage management began during my college years, where I studied theater and gained hands-on experience in various productions. After graduation, I worked as a stage manager for a local theater company, where I honed my organizational and multitasking skills. I am now ready to take on bigger challenges and believe that my skills and experience make me a perfect fit for this role at Cirque du Soleil.
In my current role, I have been responsible for coordinating and supervising all aspects of the production, from rehearsals to performances. This has given me a deep understanding of the various elements that go into creating a successful show, including stage design, lighting, sound, and special effects. I am confident that my experience in managing and coordinating complex productions will be an asset to the Resident Shows Division at Cirque du Soleil.

I am constantly looking for ways to improve and refine my skills, and I am excited about the prospect of working with a team that shares this same mindset.
Apart from my technical skills, I also possess excellent communication and leadership abilities. As a stage manager, I have had to work closely with a diverse team of performers, technicians, and production staff. I understand the importance of effective communication and have always been able to foster a positive and collaborative working environment.

I am also well-versed in various stage management software, including Showcue, Stage Manager’s Helper, and Cue Player. I am a quick learner and am always eager to embrace new technology and tools that can improve my work efficiency.
In addition to my technical skills, I am also fluent in multiple languages, including English, Russian, and French. This has been invaluable in my previous roles, where I have had to work with performers and production staff from different cultural backgrounds. I believe this will also be an asset at Cirque du Soleil, where diversity and inclusion are highly valued.
In conclusion, I am thrilled at the opportunity to join the Resident Shows Division at Cirque du Soleil as an On-Call Assistant Stage Manager.
